With just 5 natural ingredients and less than 10 minutes, you can have rich and creamy nacho cheese sauce for nachos, fries, or any game day snack!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • 10 ounces mild cheddar cheese (grated by hand)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour.

  2. 2

    Stir to combine and cook over medium heat until the flour no longer tastes raw and the mixture starts to bubble and look foamy

  3. 3

    Slowly pour in the milk and stir to combine. Stirring constantly, cook until the mixture forms a thickened “sauce” that when a spoon dipped in and you run your finger through it, doesn’t bleed back into the space.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low and add the grated cheese.

  5. 5

    Keep stirring until all the cheese is melted and a smooth sauce is formed.

  6. 6

    Remove from the heat and stir in the spices. Serve warm with chips!
